From Klumpen Bread To Kaffee: Mother’s Day The German Way

This Mother’s Day, German Gymnasium reimagines the Afternoon Tea offering. Guests will experience a tribute to Germany’s "Kaffee und kuchen" tradition, combined with the architectural grandeur of the old gymnasium and the convenience of Kings Cross for enjoying all the excitement London has to offer. It’s a sophisticated, yet relaxed alternative to more formal dining options, setting the stage for a uniquely memorable afternoon of fun, conversation and delicious food.

In the palatial environs of the first floor Restaurant at German Gymnasium, with its rich history and striking decor, the Mother’s Day menu is a testament to the finesse of German baking, infused with a contemporary twist. Each mouthful is a miniature masterpiece, featuring an assortment of Herzhaft (Savouries) and Süß (Sweets). Savour smoky Salmon Roulade, adorned with piquant Horseradish Cream, and sweet, succulent Black Forest Ham on artisan Klumpen Bread. The Beetroot Hummus with Sliced Egg and Cress on Malted Rye is an umami delight, while the zesty, fresh Pickled Herring Tartar in a Savoury Tartlet is a nod to traditional German flavours. On the sweeter side, there’s Windbeutel with Chantilly Cream, a cloud-like confection that melts in the mouth; Strudel, with delicate layers of flaky pastry and aromatic, spiced apple; a rich, indulgent Chocolate Gugelhupf and finally a juicy, luscious Strawberry Macaron. Paired with a choice of exquisite teas or finely brewed coffee, and the option to add a crisp glass of Sekt, it is an experience to be savoured.

Executive Chef, Alexander Thiel, crafts each bite in homage to cherished memories of baking alongside his mother, bringing a personal touch to each dish. Situated in the heart of King’s Cross, German Gymnasium is the perfect meeting spot for families travelling from further afield to come together to celebrate their special woman. Mother’s Day is an occasion that speaks to the heart of German traditions; of those moments spent in the kitchen that are as much about the love shared as the food prepared. This menu is a reflection of that spirit, designed to bring loved ones together over tea.

German Gymnasium knows that mothers deserve an exceptional treat, and that’s why this year they’ve partnered with Rituals - whose luxurious bath, body and home products are designed to help connect and bring balance to the body, mind and soul. All Mother’s dining at the first floor Restaurant on Mother’s day will receive a complimentary gift bag from Rituals.

It sets the stage for a specially created three-course Mother's Day meal wrapped in style and sophistication.

Starters include 28-day Aged Beef Tartare: a masterpiece of flavours, paired perfectly with pancetta crisp, creamy confit egg yolk, and toasted sourdough or the Cured Smoked Mackerel: an ode to the sea, adorned with fennel, smoked red pepper piperade, and a refreshing kick from dehydrated Sicilian lemon. The main event includes dishes such as the Roast Chicken Supreme: a comforting classic reimagined with crisp chicken served with crispy duck fat potatoes, sweet heritage carrots, sprouting broccoli, and Yorkshire pudding, all brought together perfectly by a rich roasting jus. Bringing the meal to a satisfying conclusion are dishes such as the indulgent Rum & Raisin Crème Brûlée: a creamy confection, infused with warming cinnamon spiced blanc Chantilly.
